Love Talk

Nothing too serious this month just a little chit-chat between women. Catching up on life. We talk about being grateful and staying healthy. Milestone birthdays... As you realize you have more time behind you than in front of you makes you pause for thought. We share a viewpoint. Enjoy! Happy Women's History Month.

Starting black history month with the killing of Tyre Nichols by black police officers is not what should be. We should be uniting even if we have differences. I am certain this is not what our forefathers had in mind. We have to do better, we includes America, white America. Laws need to change. The police cannot police themselves any longer. This behavior, the abuse of the black man is systemic and has to change. Our black men are not protected. We open with a moment of silence then dive deep into a discussion about the killing. It is scary and disturbing. We are boy moms and this could have been any one of our babies or any one of yours. We had to lighten this chat up with my dating chronicles. It is hard out here in the online dating world. Listen up for Traci's dating chronicles.

Introducing.... Part II of EPS 59 an encouraging word and a little scripture from the one and only Terri Sallay.

Happy New Year!!! 2023 come on in sit down and behave. This month's episode is short and sweet. As 2023 ushers in and settles down Leslie and I shared our views on the year to come and resolutions. Change is inevitable. Daily we see change and our experiences change. Our thing is why wait until 1-1-2023, 2024, 2025, etc... to make changes? Why wait for a resolution? When you see room for improvement make the change. No time like the present. Part II of EPS 59 is a prayer and a little scripture from the one and only Terri Sallay. Love Talk wishes you all a very happy & prosperous new year. We love you all.

Great conversation this week. Our girl Leslie Lee went on a whirlwind trip that included Amsterdam and South Africa. We had to get the tea. Every black person needs to visit the motherland and truly get an understanding of their origin, culture, and heritage. It's a necessary pilgrimage for black folks. In all honesty, it's the black man that was stripped from their everything. Africa is on my list for sure. We also touched on the unbelievable story of Shanquella Robinson. Our hearts ache for her family. Our heartfelt prayers are with the family. We want justice. We could not imagine this happening to any of our children. We hope you enjoy this episode.

This month we chatted it up about those who loved us first. You guessed it our parents. As my generation ages, we become the caregivers for our parents. This job is not for the weak at heart. It is not an easy task. Not everyone is cut out to be a caregiver. If you aren't, I suggested you make some plans before you are thrown into the position. There is so much to deal with that has nothing to do with giving care. We deal with other family members who are not on the frontline telling us what to do, and how to do it. There are financial obligations, living arrangements, etc... We shared all of the tea.

Finally our September episode. Sorry for the late release. Sometimes life just happens. In this episode, we'll let you hear the behind-the-scenes conversation prior to the start of the show. This is really where the fun is. We have a blast each month. This month we went political. Politics is wrapped up in love talk. We also offer up some advice that relates to our individual professional careers.

We were out for June. COVID took over & tried to take us out, but we kicked COVID's butt. This virus is no joke. I'm thankful I got vaccinated. We chatted about the "WOMB". Why anyone other than a woman gets to decide what we can and cannot do with our womb is beyond us, We are not happy. How about if all the women decide what we need to do to the scrotum & the penis ignoring what men need or want.

We recorded this episode with mixed emotions. So much is going on in this America. Our hearts are heavy. Our prayers go out to all of the families in Buffalo, NY, and Uvalde, TX. The hate is real. It shakes me to my core. My people are not imagining it we are living it every day. TARGETS! It is also incomprehensible how a boy so young could go into an elementary school and randomly shoot people. Needless to say, we chatted about these events. Of course, we ended the episode chatting about love. I invited four guests, Jay Taylor, Tiffany Yetts, Jeanette Taylor, and Janice Smith. I wanted other single people to weigh in on the late Kevin Samuels ideology and dating in 2022. Social media will have you thinking if you are not married there is no happiness. You may be surprised to learn these singles are happy and living very fulfilling lives.

Just us ladies having real conversations and sharing those conversations with whoever listens. Sometimes we are silly and sometimes we are serious. The same holds true for the topics. No matter what, you get the show just as it was recorded. The real, the raw with mistakes echos and all, This is, LOVE TALK FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE and we are in fact, everyday people. We love sharing our insight and on occasion our words of wisdom. Enjoy!

Chatting with my girls is always interesting. We typically have an agenda but we rarely stick to it. That's what makes the show fun for us. We never know what's going to come out. I hope that makes it fun for you as well. In this episode, we talked about dealing with toxic people, pillow talk, and why is Traci single. We are not perfect but we do have some perfect conversations.

This month we came back to the adoption conversation. I had more questions for my co-host, Leslie Lee. She was transparent, shared her details, and feelings. We then sild right into the love talk with our guest Michelle Rolston the proud mother of 2, owner of Key West Colors, The Art of Ray Rolston, a newlywed 15 months in. Michelle shares her story of finding love at 48. It's hard out here in these dating streets. Don't give up hope there are still good men & women out there.

Love Talk podcast is back! Our last published episode was on 10-21-2018. It's been a while. We missed chatting it up and sharing some of our stories and insight on love, marriage, relationships, sex, dating, and singleness. This episode came with some challenges and you'll see that in the beginning. Editing didn't go as planned. Life comes with challenges so why not our podcast. Real talk from real women. This week we decided to just chat and let it flow as we catch up. I hope you enjoy this episode.

After listening to the Ford Kavanaugh hearing I couldn't help but wonder about women's rights. Feels somewhat like we took a huge step backward. Will we have rights in the years to come? The girls and I have that discussion,

I returned to the streets of Fort Lauderdale. I wanted to hear a little more of how other everyday people define love. To see the video tune into YouTube (https://youtu.be/062birbCOKQ)search for Love Talk For Everyday People. Leave me a comment. Would love to hear how you define love.

I am fascinated with love. Always interested in what others think about love and how they define love. I took to the streets of Ft. Lauderdale and asked everyday people to define love. Go to our YouTube channel and see the street interviews. Leave a comment let us know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwMie3d1stM

This week we talked about Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome(PTSS). Our host Leslie Lee went to a seminar for the weekend. Dr. Joy Degruy was the speaker and she dropped some jewels. Leslie brought back a whole lot of passion, insight, and some words of wisdom and she shared with us. We chatted briefly about an interview with Serena Williams, where she was asked, was she intimidated by another player's looks? Not a fashion show she is here for tennis. Umm... that would be no!

Our chat with the author of Yellow Tulips & Red Buses, the gracious Adia Kamaria. Her book mirrors the love life of so many women dealing with that one love. The one character that hangs around but is never truly there, who you love but you know he is no good for you. You're just waiting to build up the courage to shake him once and for all. That's Gavin. Read the book!

Tonight it went down. We were all in one place in Miami. Traci, Terri, and Leslie all in one room vibing off each other. We bare it all. Real talk about sex the lack thereof and or frustrations about sex. Chatting it up about, marriage and sex, dating and sex, and just sex. We say talk about it, no judgment just have a conversation. No two people will see sex the same. Most importantly the three of us agree that for any sex to take place it must be between two consenting adults and these adults must agree on what is right for them.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we talked to Jermaine Tolbert AKA Nate Calloway. Jermaine is a musician, singer, and songwriter. Jermaine tells us, after being diagnosed with schizophrenia and depression he walked away from a recording contract with Pharrell Williams in order to secure his mental faculties, He also wrote a book about my triumph over the diagnosis.
